New Zealand's coastline is remarkably diverse
and reaches a scenic climax in the South Islands
Fjordland. Mitre Peak in Milford Sound is one exceptional
feature of New Zealand's coastline, it rises a staggering
height of nearly one mile from the ocean. The West Coast
of the South Island is rugged and the only place where
you’ll see a glacier almost meet the sea.
